Late reply, but hesitantly cosigned. Simple criteria for me is if it was an occassional high school moment of insensitivity, which is not unheard of and can occur to anyone given the right situation, or a pattern of abuse, which is not common. I don’t know where some of the commenters went to school, but picking on…

Complex feelings from this story, and not the best ones either. First impulse in the current mood is to think: “Fuck Texas. These people deserve to be steamrolled by Musk, and worse besides. Let them fight.” Which is mean, and also illogical, because Texas is a state, not a monolith, and not everybody who lives there…

To be a Republican is to lack the bare-minimum imagination and empathy required to see people outside of your in-group as human. Their incredible lack of empathy is their greatest power.

I’ve met staunch Republicans who are willing to bend over backward to support members of their family; through addiction, through…

The short child actors thing is so common you have to assume there’s a reason for it. Most likely they cast kids that look younger than they actually are, and thus they are probably going to be short their whole lives. Or maybe they cast little kids with large noggins, and all that head weight limits growth? I don’t…

They made the right call. This version of the show probably wouldn’t work without Warren Ellis. His voice is extremely strong in these characters and this setting, and was pretty much central to the appeal. In fairness to the new writers and the fans, it’s best to toss the whole thing and start as fresh as possible.…

Maybe it’s cause I spent years working around old white people in a red state, but I thought these things were old news.

Dear lord, yes. That shouldn’t go unnoted. You earned both of you stars.

Never stop being the most generic man in history, Base Shepard.

Is it disrespectful to remember good things and rage against the evil that yet remains? Isn’t it natural to grieve in different ways? It may make you uncomfortable, but some people choose to honor others with a fighting spirit, and a desire for others to be and do better.

I understand and feel the same. But as someone who has dipped their toes into online and been having fun, to then have it come to a screeching halt because someone starts screaming the N-word out of nowhere, I like the option being available for people. Also, because people other than me exist, and they like online…

I don’t entirely agree, but I most definitely understand in my spirit.

Borat?! You... uh... don’t scan a lot of Youtube do you you? They are Scrooge Mcducking all over that shit. ESPECIALLY the Kanye West’s out there. It’s easy money. 

Word. I don’t consider myself sexist, but if a woman starts talking about men being sexist, I don’t feel the need to leap up and put on my cape for men everywhere. And I’d have to cop to some sexist garbage being ingrained into me that I may not always do a good job of combating.

You time-wasting troll-ass bitch.

I hope they “Remastered” the hell out it, because while the premise and atmosphere were endearingly unique, most of the rest of that game is not going to fly in 2021. Even back then, I found it to be ugly, awkward, and stiff.  Hope it’s improved.

The best version at that.  

I’m of two minds about this. Actually, three minds. From one point of view, I’m like “fuck police unions”, because they exist solely to protect cops from facing consequences for being legitimately terrible at their job.

This is the way.

Preface: Consider these debates a sign this series needs to die.

You shouldn’t have to explain this while Google exists. I know Diablo Cody isn’t at the peak of her fame, but the woman wrote several films popular television shows.
